Vibecoding: a beginner's guide

Vibe coding is not fit for building proper enterprise systems. It should only be used for quick POC projects. The important skill to learn is spec driven development like GitHub Spec Kit.
 
Took Claude about an hour to do this today. Controlling Rpi via WebUI. Created a test output and tested on LED.

Friends, countrymen... I am a Claude convert. After purchasing my Claude Pro subscription, it has been but a week and mine life has been transformed ... nay ... enhanced!

Ok real talk, this is damn impressive. Claude has rebuilt two PowerPoints for my job, consolidated an Excel document also for my work, created three marketing elements for my personal website, and calmly just coded not only an entire component for my website that I've been dreaming about for years, but did it far better than I ever could have ... AND fixed some security flaws on my site and built an entire user error fault reporting and device testing component that walks people through some tests and then allows them to submit a report which appears in a Wordpress plugin that Claude ALSO wrote tonight along with everything else.

I'm gonna have some fun playing with this new component this weekend, that's all I'm gonna say.

And here's the bigger issue with vibecoding: when is one ever DONE? I mean you can create tools as easily as it takes to just think them, and if you've already got a Wordpress environment set up then you can immediately deploy that to the world.
 
Dude, I thought Claude Sonnet was awesome ... but Fable is everything that's promised.

Even at medium it sucks tokens like a five year old kid sucks milkshake, but boy it feels like a good deal.

It really is better than Sonnet at remembering how everything works across an entire codebase, and using it to identify shortfalls in Sonnet's work is pretty sobering.

Does anyone on here use Fable, and how do you balance Sonnet vs Fable so you don't bankrupt yourself?

Opus 5.5 is good enough for most things, haven't really noticed Fable being that much better for code, however it was significantly better when it came to design tasks for building UI elements when I tried the two on a project.

I don't ever really user Fable, I'll skip straight to Mythos for more complex things like security auditing.

As for not going bankrupt, get your company to pay for it 😄

Currently paying for $200 Claude and $150 Grok bot, AI is getting out of hand.

The question is, does it feel worth it or not?

Grok has been chasing me with ads for their Grok bot ... what do you use it for, and is it as cool as all the people in the ads with names for their little bot teams make it sound?
